What is a 4.3/10 Type RF Connector
The 4.3/10 type rf connector is a robust and waterproof series. It is often used in mobile communication base stations for radios and antennas made overseas.
We have an extensive lineup of connectors for copper corrugated cables for power feed lines, waterproof terminators and waterproof caps for empty ports, 7/16 DIN type rf connectors, and connectors for conversion to and from N type rf connectors.

4.3/10 Type RF Connector Features
Large Size
4.3/10 connectors are relatively large and high-power connectors.
Its high-power and superior weather resistance is suitable for outdoor radios and mobile base station antenna devices.
Their body which is 30-40% smaller than 7/16DIN connectors, makes us easier to use it in the limited space.
Trivia: Coaxial Cable Thickness
- The thicker the coaxial cable, the less flexible it is, but the better the characteristic impedance with less noise and loss. Usually, the longer the cable is, the worse the characteristic impedance become, so the tendency is to select thicker cables.
High Frequency
We have a lineup of products that can be used in the high frequency band from DC to 6 GHz.
4.3/10 Type RF Connector Applications
As Power Feed Lines
In mobile communication base station construction, copper corrugated cables (WFLEX, WF-H, etc.) are often used as feeder cables connecting antennas, multiplexers, radios, etc. If the terminals of the equipment are 4.3/10, a 4.3/10 plug + processed corrugated cable will be used. Since we can process cables at our company, we can also provide express services when you are in a hurry.
Trivia: Copper Corrugated Cable
- Copper corrugated cables are widely used in mobile band communication base station construction as coaxial cables with lower loss than ordinary coaxial cables (using a braided mesh outer conductor) by using ring-shaped corrugated copper tubes as the outer conductor.
Our connectors can be attached to copper corrugated cables manufactured by Fujikura Dia Cable.
For Free Ports on Equipment
In mobile communication base station construction, there may be unused empty ports for antennas, common equipment, radio equipment, etc. If the equipment has 4.3/10 terminals, waterproof caps and terminators are used. In many cases, the caps are used for antennas, and the terminators are used for common-use and radio equipment to close the unoccupied ports. In addition to our regular lineup, we have also developed a one-touch type that does not require screw mating for specific carrier installation. Please contact us for more information.
Conversion Connector for Equipment Replacement
When replacing equipment such as antennas, multiplexers, and radios in mobile communication base station construction, the type of equipment and cables (power feed lines, jumpers, etc.) may differ. If the terminals of the equipment or cables are 4.3/10, conversion connectors are used. Conversions for all plug (male) and jack (female) patterns are available for 4.3/10–7/16 DIN and 4.3/10-N, respectively. In addition, we also offer a 4.3/10 jack (female) to jack (female) adapter for use when the length of the power feed line is not long enough. The flange connector (EIA7/8) used in relatively old mobile base stations is also useful when replacing radio equipment or cables.

4.3/10 Type RF Connector FAQ
Q
What is the difference between 7/16 DIN and 4.3/10 connectors?
A
7/16 DIN connectors are larger than 4.3/10 connectors; like 4.3/10 connectors, they are screw-mating types. Both are widely used in European equipment, with 4.3/10 being the newer standard.
Q
What is an NXT connector?
A
NXT connector is used in newer equipment than 7/16 DIN and 4.3/10 connectors. Smaller and lighter than 4.3/10. Can be mated with NEX10 connectors manufactured by other companies that conform to the IEC 61169-71 standard. Can be coupled with Ericsson, Nokia, and other wireless communication devices with NEX10 connector ports.
Q
Do you have waterproof connectors?
A
All 4.3/10 caps and terminations are waterproof. This eliminates the need for tape wrapping during installation and helps to improve installation efficiency.
